Social Justice-HomeFront Ministry - Our 21st Year!
Each May, a group of us join together to help a neighbor stay in their home. It’s a little work, it’s a lot of fun, and at the end of the day we go home rewarded knowing we have made a difference in someone’s life. Please consider joining us this year.
HomeFront Day: Saturday, May 11, 2024
We would love to have you join us.
